Volunteer Opportunities

Get involved with Art Kart

We offer a weekly Art Kart volunteering opportunity which is always very popular. Art Kart gives your team the chance to spend time inside the hospital, helping to entertain patients through fun arts and crafts. You’ll be supported by one of our wonderful Play Facilitators who’ll make sure everyone has a fantastic and rewarding experience. Patients can spend long periods waiting to see our medical teams, which can increase stress and anxiety for both them and their parents. Art Kart helps keep children happily distracted. We need four to six volunteers each week to help run these sessions.

What our Art Kart volunteers say

Hear from volunteers who have experienced Art Kart first hand and see how giving their time helps bring comfort and distraction to children during hospital visits.

Art Kart is such a wonderful experience. Everybody at Lloyds that has taken part is keen to do so again and we have a queue of volunteers awaiting future dates. The children are a real pleasure to get to know and when the parents come up to you offering their thanks for making their visit so much easier it makes it even more worthwhile. We love Art Kart!

Lloyds Mid Markets

Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to volunteer at Birmingham Children’s Hospital. It was a privilege to spend time with the children and their families. We particularly valued the time spent colouring and chatting with the children; seeing them feel a bit more preoccupied and relaxed before their procedures was incredibly rewarding. It was also an honour to hold space for the families and offer support through some truly heartfelt conversations. The work your team does is inspiring, and we are so grateful to have played a small part in it. We would love the opportunity to return and support the hospital again in the future.

Crown Commercial Service

Thank you so much for having us last Thursday. We both had such a fantastic day and were really pleased to be able to support the important work you do. In terms of feedback, all we can really say is to keep up the amazing work. What you do makes a huge difference and brings smiles to children’s faces on what can be some of their most difficult days.

Be a Voice for Change

Could you be an Ambassador?

We know many of you are already passionate about our hospital and that makes you one of our greatest strengths.

Having ambassadors who can share the life-changing work happening inside our hospital every day brings our charity to life in a powerful and personal way. No one can tell your personal connection to our hospital better than you and we want to give you the platform to share it. Whether it’s speaking at an event or welcoming new supporters on a hospital tour, we’d love you to be a voice for our charity and our sick kids.
